• Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Sweden - About 1988 and older

  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

1977 Husky 125 CR GP

I've got a line on a 1977 Husky CR 125 I'm considering buying. I'd like some feedback good/bad. The bike is all original and about 90% complete. Motor turns free. Will probably need new top end per owner. Has good spark. Will need new rear shocks and seat recovered. Also would would be a good price to pay for this bike other than free :)
 
I really liked that bike. They had decent power but on top end were very good. The chassis was stable at high speed so they worked well in the desert. If it has the Betor front end those tripple clamps work better for turning that the stamp steel husky clamps. as far as price 500-950 would be fair. Plan on spending at least that to get it going again. If your like me you'll spend 1200-1500 on that little puppy after you buy it. Keep in mind if it doesn't have the original yellow aluminum tank it's not worth as much.
 
These little 125 Huskys were great bike's good power and handles well . But I have a soft spot for these bikes .
 
You say in the title of your post thats a 1977 125 GP. Is that you trying to get my attention or was it a GP Bike. I rode a real works 125 in 1977 borrowed from the factory. It was a 125 in a 250 frame. The engine had twin reed valves. One conventional and the other straight in to the crank. I loved that bike, but was only allowed to ride it for a couple of months at British Championship schoolboys whilst Roger Harvey (Husky 125 GP rider) recovered from his broken leg. I would love to get hold of that bike or to get a stock one and make it in to a "GP" one.

Get some pics up of it soon.

Cheers,

Steve
 
In the US Husky called the first '75-'76 ML frames "GPs". I suspect it looks exactly like the one in the link above.

Well that's brought back memories...

My Dad bought me my first dirt bike from Brian Leasks down in Crawley in 1978, it was Roger Harvey's 1977 GP motor in a brand new rolling chassis and while I wasn't the best of riders in those early days it pulled many a hole shot.... When it wasn't breaking woodruff keys :)
 
Blimey.....did you really get the works motor ? The frame was a 250 frame. The motor had twin reed block. One went into the cylinder and the other into the crank case. It went like a 250 as well. In 1978 I switched from schoolboys and went into the adults on a 250 Husky. I rode that year in the first and only British under 18 championship....Happy days...:)
 
Thanks for the pic. Love to see the double reed intake. Maybe on the french site.I'm amazed how Husky pics they come up with.
